Clinton Vows To Fight For Kids As She Campaigns With Leading Abortion Supporters

Flanked by advocates for organizations that deny life to unborn children, Democratic presidential nominee HIllary Clinton said during a campaign stop last week that “fighting for kids” has been “the cause of my life.”

Clinton was joined by Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, EMILY’s List president Stephanie Schriock, and NARAL president Ilyse Hogue.

Despite that, Clinton said the needs of children and families “will be the mission of my presidency.”

“I will get up every single day in the White House saying, ‘What am I going to do to help every single person, and, especially, every child in this country have the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential?’” she added.

The dissonance between Clinton’s words and the actions was pounced upon by pro-life advocates.

“Today, she’s campaigning in Iowa with the most powerful players in the abortion lobby. These organizations know that the way to advance a radical abortion agenda is by electing Hillary Clinton,” said Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, an advisory board member with The Catholic Association.

Maureen Ferguson, a senior policy adviser with The Catholic Association, noted that many unborn children die because of the efforts of Clinton’s allies.

“There are at least 10,000 developing human beings (half of them girls) killed in the second half of pregnancy, and even the abortion lobby admits these late-term abortions are mostly elective,” she said, noting that even with late-term health problems, “there is no need to kill the baby to save the health of the mother.”

“So if Hillary Clinton is campaigning on ‘women’s rights’ today, she should be asked about the rights of these 5,000 girls whose lives are snuffed out every year in abortion clinics across America,” she said.

In a column headlined, “Awash in Abortion Promotion, Clinton is Tone Deaf to the Meaning of her Own Words,” writer Dave Andrusko said that if elected, Clinton’s actions would be far different from her words.

“For example, she would get up every single day vowing to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who would erect an impenetrable shield about Roe v. Wade for at least a decade,” he wrote.

“With her toast and jam, every single day, she’d plot … to undo the 40-year consensus that the pocketbooks of Americans would not be filched to pay for abortions. Honoring the consciences of the ‘deplorables’ is so 1980s-ish,” he added.
